Glass: Zalto Universal Popped and poured. Clear, medium golden color. Clean, medium+ intense and youthful nose, dense, compact, complex and multi layered. Lots of canned pineapple and candied fruit on the one hand side but on the hand side never broad or fat, always elegant and lean with nice mineral notes and some garden herbs. Dry but with noticeable residual sugar with the vintage typical high acidity, that is perfectly integrated and makes this wine racy . On the palate the same density and compactness, some extract, . Salty minerality, citrus zests, some white fruit, herbs. Medium+ - long, electrifying finish. Full peak. 92-93
Glass: Zalto Universal From Magnum, popped and poured, tasted blind. Halenberg at its best and at its full peak. Smoky, dense, mineral, deep, great tension, long. Great joy! Thank you Oliver! 94-95
Glass: Zalto Universal Popped and poured, tasted blind. Beautiful Pontet at its full peak. We should have decanted it to let it fully shine. Nevertheless a wonderful Pauillac that will stay on this level for at least another decade. 93-94
*** just some notes for my own memory *** Glass: Zalto Universal Popped and poured, tasted blind. Not as good as my previous bottle, but still a beautiful Meursault on a safe 90 Pt level.
*** just some notes for my own memory *** Glass: Zalto Universal Popped and poured, tasted blind. Beautiful nose, on the palate a bit vague and hot. Lacks acidity, depth an tension. 87-89
